    Aphakia and Its Correction

    Uploaded by

    Pradita Dhriti Indriyani
    The document discusses aphakia, or the absence of the eye's natural lens. It provides details on changes to the eye's optical properties in this condition, including high hyperopia. It also compares methods of correcting vision in aphakia, such as thick spectacle lenses, contact lenses, or intraocular lenses, outlining advantages and disadvantages of each approach. Surgical refractive procedures are also briefly mentioned as potential options.

     The lens is absent from the pupillary area

     Congenital absence
     Dislocation into the vitreous
     Extruded outside the eye
     Surgically removed
     Absorption of the lens matter
     Changes in the cardinal data of the eye

     Image formation in the aphakic eye

     Visual acuity in aphakia

     Accommodation in aphakia

     Binocular vision in aphakia


     Eye is highly
    hypermetropic
     Power is reduced to
    44D (60D)
     Anterior focal point is
    23.2 mm in front of
    cornea
    (17.2mm)Posterior
    focal point is 31mm
    behind cornea
    (24.4mm)
     Principal points are at
    the anterior surface of
    cornea ( 1.5mm
    behind)
     Nodal points are 7.75
    mm behind anterior
    surface of cornea
    (7.2mm)
     Image size in aphakia corrected with
    spectacles is 30% magnified

     Image size in aphakia corrected with contact


    lens is magnified by 4.5 to 5%
     Visual acuity of spectacle corrected eye is
    recorded better than actual visual acuity in
    terms of visual angles
     Total loss of accommodation

     Bifocal or progressive spectacles

     Multifocal IOLs
     Monocular aphakia corrected with spectacles
    will result in aniseikonia

     Can be corrected with IOL or Contact lens


     Operative scar at limbus
     Deep AC
     Iridodonesis
     Jet black pupil
     Absent Purkinje images
    (3,4)
     Associated
    abnormalities
     High hyperopia
     Fundus exam -small disc
     Spectacle

     Contact lens

     Intra-ocular lens

     Refractive corneal surgery


    Total dioptric power = +58 D Cornea= +42 D Lens= +16 D
    Refractive state = Emmetropia

    A high power (thick) convex lens is required to correct vision

    7/21/2019
    • +10 D lens with correction of associated
    astigmatism ( usually ATR )
    • Add + 3 D for near vision ( Total +13D )

    Advantages
    • Cheap
    • Easy
    • safe
     Many disadvantages

     Heavy glasses

     Poor cosmetic appearance

     Many disadvantages

     Magnification of 30% - unilateral aphakia, assess

    • Spectacle magnification=
    Corrected image size
    Uncorrected image size

    Anterior focal distance in ametropia


    Anterior focal distance in emmetropia

    23.2 = 1.36 = 30 % magnification
